Hello everyone. I have a small YouTube channel with roughly 3,000 subscribers. I am getting about 1,600 views per day and have not monetized any of my videos....but will in the near future.
Essentially, I am unclear about the use of Affiliate links in my videos.
Because I have been unsure about how to use Affiliate links, what I have done is at the end of some of my videos, I display a certain product and tell my audience I recommend it. Most typically, this is a physical item that I am holding in my hands. If I'm not holding it, I'll show a picture of it on the screen.
I then tell them to go to an article I wrote on my site that's linked in the description to learn more.
In that article, I have Amazon Affiliate links for the item, as well as Amazon Native Ads.
So what I'm asking is, is that allowed? Do I need to click any paid product placement box doing what I am doing? I have read that placing Affiliate links directly in your video is a Grey area and one could possibly get in trouble doing that. So I decided to send people off to my site and have the affiliate links there.
Feedback on this would be much appreciated! I suppose I am just paranoid about this whole thing considering I've spent a good amount of time on my channel and just am now beginning to see some true momentum.....and I don't want to get into trouble for some little thing I wasn't aware of.
